Welcome and thank you for visiting our website. 

Growing up in Flint (Michigan), in a God-fearing household, attending church wasn't an option; it was a lifestyle for Josh. 

As a child, Josh would imitate one of the local pastors, until one day while pretending to be filled with the Holy Spirit, the true and living presence of God took over him and from that moment playtime was over. This event led Josh to have a heart for reaching others with the Good News of Jesus Christ. 

Josh has been in the ministry for over 25 years and he is an ordained minister.  Josh's fervent desire to teach the gospel led him to launch Gifts of the Holy Spirit Ministry in San Antonio, TX, where he currently resides with his wife, Belenda, of over 28 years and one daughter. 

Josh and Belenda enjoy traveling to Michigan to spend time with two of their other children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, family, and friends. 

Personal Statement 

The mandate placed on the Gifts of the Holy Spirit Ministry is to fulfill God's plan for His kingdom on earth while showing compassion for each other. Just imagine for a moment.  If we, the True Believers, would get together and say enough is enough, and use our time, talent, treasure, and testimony together to help those in need and to further God's kingdom on this earth, we would have a great revival on our hands!

Daily Prayer 

I am a child of God and I will not tolerate evil influences in myself or around me.

I will have morals and positive character.

I will put on the whole armour of God so that I will be able to stand against the devil.

I will stand having girded my waist with Truth.

I will put on the breastplate of Righteousness.

I shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel of Peace.

I will take the shield of Faith with me to be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

I will take the helmet of Salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, praying always.

No weapon formed against me will prosper.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you, Lord!  

Amen!

Starting your day with prayer and gratitude will uplift your soul and encourage your heart.  

My Prayer Before Starting Work

My Heavenly Father, as I enter this workplace, I bring Your presence with me.  I speak Your peace, Your grace, Your mercy, and Your perfect order into this place.

I acknowledge Your power over all that will be spoken, thought, decided, and done within these walls.  Lord, I thank you for the gifts You have blessed me with.  I commit to using them responsibly in Your honor.

Give me a fresh supply of strength to do my job.  Anoint my projects, ideas, and energy so that even my smallest accomplishment may bring You glory.

Lord, when I am confused, guide me.  When I am weary, energize me.  When I am burned out, infuse me with the light of the Holy Spirit.  May the work that I do and the way I do it bring faith, joy, and a smile to all that I come in contact with today.

And oh Lord, when I leave this place, give me traveling mercy.  Bless my family and home to be in order as I left it.

Lord, I thank you for everything You've done, everything You're doing, and everything You're going to do.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you Lord!  

Amen!

We pray that You will fill our days with peace and joy.  

We thank You for providing us with our needs.  We know Your grace and strength will sustain us.  

We place our hope in You, for Your word is true.

You are the way, the truth, and the light. 

We pray that You will continue to lead and guide us so that we might glorify You.  

Teach us to do Your will and help us to stay focused on You so that we will always put You first in all we do and speak. 

 Thank You for never leaving us alone.

    In Jesus’ name, we pray.  Amen.
